Jeff Bezos and bride-to-be Lauren Sanchez have arrived in Venice ahead of their hugely anticipated A-lister wedding
Kim and Khloe Kardashian and Kris Jenner have arrived ahead of Jeff Bezos wedding this week. The A-list pair have touched down in Venice before their celeb friends tie the knot over the next few days.
The two of them have been spotted looking as glamourous as ever. Kris wore a long black gown with ruffle details along with slim black sunglasses.
She went for a full glam makeup look and stuck with her iconic bob haircut. Meanwhile, mum-of-four Kim went for a black midi skirt with a matching crop top and covered up with a coordinated hoodie.

She slicked her brunette hair back into a neat bun and covered up her face with chunky grey sunglasses. Khloe looked gorgeous as she went for an all-leopard print look for the occasion.
The TV star wore an eye-catching jumpsuit with black sunglasses and styled her brunette locks into loose waves. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez have also arrived in Venice, Italy as a helicopter picked them up from his superyacht Koru’s support ship, the Albeona.
Celebrations will begin on Thursday evening as a casual welcome dinner will be held at the 14th Century Madonna dell’Orto church. The ceremony was expected to take place at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia, an historic 16th-century building in the city centre.
However, the No Space for Bezos campaign group claim the couple scrambled to change their plans, after activists threatened to block the canals with inflatable crocodiles to stop their guests from attending.
A new plan have now been put in place as it has been moved to Arsenale which is a shipyard complex which will be near-impossible for protestors to get to.
Tension is growing on mainland Venice which is where most of the A-listers are reported to be staying. Campaigners Everyone Hates Elon (EHE) and Greenpeace protesters laid out a huge 20x20m banner near to where the Amazon founder will marry his partner.
Set out in the city’s famous St Mark’s Square, the message reads: “IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX.” The groups are critical of Mr Bezos, who is the second-richest man in the world, as he is reported to pay a 1.1% true tax rate.
A spokesperson from EHE explained: “As governments talk about hard choices and struggle to fund public services, Jeff Bezos can afford to shut down half a city for days on end just to get married. Just weeks ago, he spent millions on an 11-minute space trip. If there was ever a sign billionaires like Bezos should pay wealth taxes, it’s this.
“While ordinary people struggle to pay the bills, there are more billionaires than ever before. These two things are obviously connected – they’re getting richer at our expense. It’s not rocket science: tax billionaires like Jeff Bezos now.”
